There are very specific specifications for the placement of a mailbox. They are designed to allow the efficient delivery of mail to rural addresses. The postal carrier drives down the road, stopping at each house, reaches out the window and places the mail in the properly erected mailbox. This works quite well, in summer, spring, and even fall.
There are also very specific specifications for the plowing of snow from roadways. These are designed to allow the maximum lane width for vehicles using the throughway.
These 2 specifications are in direct conflict with one another.
On a subsequent pass the snow plow cleared quite a bit more snow, and surgically removed the mailbox from the post, depositing it in the snowbank 10 feet away. Now that's a dead eye with a plow.
